Hey yall, I have this idea and I feel like Im so close to getting it to work but I need a little advice if possible
So basically, I set up a converter on my computer that will read the midi inputs from my guitar and then convert them into keystrokes/actions on my computer, basically letting my guitar be a keyboard in a sense, its dumb ik, but its more for fun than anything else and I thought it would be fun to try and play my way thru some of my favorite older games, so I tried setting it up to work with dolphin and like I can use the guitar to type things into the settings just fine (like anywhere theres a text box) but when it comes to putting the inputs in for the controller, it does not register the keystrokes and it wont work if i just set the keys to what strings theyre bound to and try to play either, I was wondering if there was a way that I can get this to work somehow.
Just to test, I used the on screen keyboard to see if the controls can register those as inputs and it did so Im pretty lost on what my next step would be, does anyone have any advice? I know its a pretty niche question lol so I understand if not
